Handball

Seven a side over two halves of 30 minutes. Scoring is frequent and the clock runs, so a match reads much like football in structure but with far higher scorelines.

The model

What Handball needs that a generic model does not give it.

Every sport gets its own entities and its own scoring shape. We do not force one structure onto all of them.
